Floating offshore wind (FLOW) platforms must be secured to the seabed - requiring a huge amount of mooring lines, chains and anchors. 

The UK FLOW Taskforce "Vision 2050: Anchoring the next generation offshore"  identifies A+M as the highest value element to FLOW for the UK economy with "realisable value by 2050 of 6.3bn". 

A+M are an area of particular UK strength, notably so in Cornwall, the North East and Scotland. However, key elements remain unknown and the seabed characteristics of the Celtic Sea pose particular challenges.  Can solutions local knowledge and UK capacity and ambition can solutions be developed in advance - to realise this potential?
